Compliance steps

1
Source only from a Bureau of Indian Standards CM/L-licensed manufacturer holding a current licence against IS 17803:2022 for aluminium potable water bottles. Verify the supplier's CM/L number, licensed product scope, and licensed manufacturing facility on the BIS online register before placing the purchase order.

2
Ensure every article bears the ISI mark and the supplier's CM/L number under Scheme-I of Schedule-II to the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The standard mark must appear on the product itself; marking on packaging alone does not satisfy the requirement.

3
Confirm the enterprise-size status of the foreign manufacturer. Small Enterprise enforcement commenced 06-09-2024; Micro Enterprise enforcement commenced 06-12-2024. Consignments from manufacturers qualifying as Udyam-registered micro enterprises with plant and machinery investment not exceeding ₹1 crore and turnover not exceeding ₹5 crore are exempt from the QCO.

4
If the consignment consists of stock manufactured or imported before 06-06-2024 by a BIS-certified manufacturer or an importer who had applied for BIS certification, obtain a declaration certified by a Chartered Accountant and submit it to BIS. Such declared stock may be sold or offered for sale up to six months from the commencement of the Potable Water Bottles (Quality Control) Amendment Order 2024.

5
Quote the supplier's BIS CM/L number on the bill of entry. Customs verifies the CM/L in real time against the BIS register; an absent, expired, or scope-mismatched licence triggers consignment detention, demurrage, and potential confiscation under the BIS Act, 2016.

A word of counsel

The sharpest trap on this tariff line is the HSN-to-product scope mismatch: HSN 7615 10 90 captures 'parts' of aluminium household articles, yet the QCO under IS 17803:2022 targets the finished potable water bottle as the regulated article. Importers of genuine parts — lids, seals, handles — that are not in themselves finished potable water bottles risk misapplying the CM/L requirement; conversely, importers of finished aluminium water bottles who classify them as 'parts' to escape the QCO face confiscation and criminal liability under Section 29 of the BIS Act, 2016 for import of uncertified goods.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7615 10 90 require BIS certification?

Yes, where the goods are aluminium potable water bottles. Conformity to IS 17803:2022 is mandatory under the ISI Mark Scheme from 06 June 2024; import is permitted only from manufacturers holding a current BIS CM/L licence covering the relevant product and facility.

Are micro enterprises exempt from the Potable Water Bottles QCO?

Yes. An enterprise registered on the Udyam Portal with plant and machinery investment not exceeding ₹1 crore and turnover not exceeding ₹5 crore for the previous financial year, as certified by a Chartered Accountant, is exempt from the QCO. Micro Enterprise enforcement commenced 06-12-2024.

What is the transitional provision for pre-commencement stock?

Goods manufactured or imported before 06-06-2024 by a BIS-certified manufacturer, or by an importer who had applied for BIS certification, may be sold for up to six months from QCO commencement. A Chartered Accountant-certified declaration to BIS is a condition of this transitional relief.

Does a single CM/L licence cover all material variants (copper, stainless steel, aluminium)?

No. IS 17803:2022 covers potable water bottles of copper, stainless steel, and aluminium, but the CM/L licence is scope-specific by material, product variant, and manufacturing facility; bottles outside the licensed scope or from a different plant are not covered.
